We drove from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Alexandria, Virginia on 12/27. About 20 minutes from our destination, we exited the highway onto the parkway and as we were going about 15-18mph on an exit ramp, the closed sun roof imploded. There were no trees, bridges, or even other cars (due to it being near 10pm) nearby to cause this from falling debris.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Pilot. The contact initially noticed that a water leak had developed from the passenger’s side of the windshield. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer where they determined that the leak had come from a crack on the driver’s side of the windshield.

New pilot elite just over 2 months old and with roughly 3800 miles on it had the sunroof (not panoramic moonroof) blow out on a rural highway with no cars or objects in sight. Nothing hit the car or flew into view prior to explosion. This occurred 100 miles from home and on a sunday so the car had to be limped home to be taken to the dealer the following day.

Since purchasing my 2017 honda pilot in september 2017, I have had to replace two windshields due to rocks kicked up by other vehicles. On a third occasion, another rock created a minor crack and chip in the windshield. The first incident that required replacing the windshield occurred on september 8, 2017, while driving southbound on u.s.
